4.00Fantastic and informational tour. Ana was very knowledgeable, but there were many issues with the electronics. Batteries running out, microphone not working. She had to apologize many times for people not being able to hear.
Good tour- bad audio equipment

4.00Our tour guide Ana was very informative and helpful. The audio equipment was terrible- it had static and kept cutting out throughout the tour. Ana was kind and changed my audio set twice so I could hear the tour. Would recommend tour but only if the company upgrades equipment. The cathedral was very unique and I’m glad we were able to learn about it.

5.00Hose the guide was very knowledgable and a fun character to run the tour. The Mosque-Cathedral was so impressive and quite extraordinary. I learnt alot from the tour and would definitely recommend it, as there is so much history surrounding this building and it has many different iterations over the centuries.
